Dear Chowdhury,

Welcome to the SuSanA forum and we look forward to your contributions to this hub of knowledge.  It is always a pleasure to have fresh minds in this space, as this means fresh ideas.

One thing for sure is that the Sanitation sector is 'addictive'. Once you are a part of it you have no desire to go elsewhere. 

Looking forward to interacting with you more closely.

Regards,
Chaiwe

Nice to meet you and a warm welcome!

Dear colleagues,
 
I am pleased to introduce myself as the new intern in the Sektorvorhaben Nachhaltige Sanitärsysteme (NaSa) and will mainly work as part of the  Sustainable Sanitation Alliance  Secretariat(SuSanA).
 
I recently completed my Master’s from the University of Kiel on Sustainability and Environment. Previously I worked in the Humanitarian sector in Bangladesh with the International Federation of Red Cross. I supported managing projects on Disaster Management and led volunteers to different emergency response operations such as floods and cyclones. Communication is my greatest talent and therefore I love to work in the field, and interact and collect stories of people through case studies, photography, and video documentary. I also completed an internship with Henkel in 2020 with their Sustainability department. 
 
I am a Bangladeshi citizen, currently living in Germany since the end of 2017. I speak Bengali and English fluently and have limited working proficiency in German and Hindi. However, I am taking German courses regularly to improve my skills, so I hope to be fluent in German very soon.
 
I am happy to learn more about the Sanitation field as I find it to be one of the most crucial fields in which we can make big impacts on the health and livelihoods of others by contributing with the best technical interventions and improvement strategies.
 
During these current strange times, we might not be able to meet face to face, but I am happy to meet you virtually and learn more about your sectors and projects. If I can be of help to anyone, do not hesitate to reach out to me.
 
Best Regards,
Chowdhury Mustazabur Rahman
